IF YOU'VE ever entertained the idea that you could get a lower score on a golf course by using anything but your clubs—forget it. Believe me, golf clubs are built special for pitting ‘the little white ball. No kidding. You can't improve your score by kicking, shooting or it from tee to green. I tried throwing and it's no good. My games this year have been pretty rotten. Last . « .» well, they were rotten, too, but I didn’t try. anything new like throwing the ball. This much can be said about stepping on the tee with only a scoyecard and a golf ball. It's easy traveling. After that—phooey. My experiment took piace at the Pleasant Run Golf Club. I wonder if Jim Vaughn in the pro shop is.still giving me horse laughs. Jim's brother, Tommy. the pro at the grassy anse, wasn’t around when I asked for a scorecard and a golf ball. “Who are you playing with?” asked Jim. “I'm going around by myself.” I didn’t want anyone to know. Do you blame me? “There. a young fellow from Marion,” Jim said, “who you might team up with.”
A Difficult 10 Minutes
A DIFFICULT 10 minutes followed while I explained to this Marion fellow and Jim why I wanted to play alone. They didn't quite understand. But Bob Starrett, cost estimater for a Marion box ‘firm who claims he shoots in the 70's, became interested. “Say, I've often wondered how a man could

Remember?
DAYTON, Tenn., July 2—It has been 23 years since this«little mountain town had its brief and wacky date with history—but the memory still is fresh: and sweet. : Twisting into the town over the up and down road from Chattanooga 37 miles to the southwest, tourists come to an ornate stone entrance gate which carries ‘the legend: ; «Welle: to Dayton, scene of the famous Scopes trial and home of William Jennings Bryan University.” The line regarding the seat of fundamentalist learning is down at the bottom and almost obscured by the high grass. The mention of the trial is at the top, in larger letters, and there for all to see. Two of the close links to the unique contribution to Americana still are around the place. And they'd love to see it happen all over again. For one of these the trial was a matter of religlous convictions which still hold good. For the other the trial was a piece of right good business. The former is Walter White, then and now superintendent of education here in Rhea County. He was the one who ordered that John T. Scopes, high school teacher, be brought to trial for teaching that modern man is a product of evolution— a heretic theory banned by the laws of Tennessee. The second ig “Doc” F. E. Robinson, in whose then-small drug store the plan was hatched to make Mr. Scopes the goat of the experiment in theology and the law. !
Doc's Business Has Prospered
THE DOC has made the table at which this plot was hatched into a memorial, suitably marked with a plaque. Few visitors pass without enjoying the royalty of sitting there for a soft drink or a soda. Business has grown and prospered. The store has been remodeled and there's another nice one at nearby Spring City, Tenn. Business has been just dandy. Mr. White, now 65, occupies the same office in the dingy old court house where the trial was held. A modernistic wood and coal burner has replaced the old pot-bellied stove, but otherwise the scene is pretty much unchanged. : So ‘is Superintendent White unchanged. His

we were safe. “Straightest ball I ever got on this first tee” I yelled with a little extra delight. It was, too. “This is the nuts. This is the way to play golf.” Bob didn’t share in my enthusiasm. He walked in silence rubbing his arm. My arm felt great. . The second throw was better than the first. Bob was about 20 yards in front of me. “Why so quiet?” . “This is pretty silly. Look at those

The most disgusting thing happened. It took-three pitches to get the ball in the cup. There wasn’t a thing to throw except the ball or scorecard and that’s nothing to throw when you're burning up. - “We'll do better as we go along,” 1 said to Bob who merely threw a nasty glance.

I think he was just a leetle disgusted with my type of golf. Well, he asked for it.

The fourth hole cost me a nickel. I went two over par and Bob one. ‘Evidently he’s not used to be so consistently over par. I am. It was miserable. We even went over par on the short fifth hole. The sixth, 542 yards about laid us low. A couple of 11's. Coming into No. 8 and 9 is uphill, as Pleasant Run golfers will tes-| tify. Awful. | Nine holes is as far as Bob would go. I'm glad he was along because he talked me out of going the full 18. Bob went out in 61 for nine and I took 63. Jim didn't believe it. He stuck to his 75.

Evidence of Deadening Effects
By PAUL F.

Y., who reported on experiments with corn seed that was exposed in thé Bikini atom bomb test just a year ago.

were fur workers. Some were truck drivers and some were sailors. The sailors were the worst. They brought a crate of pigeons inside and let ‘em loose at the Will Call Department. These birds fluttered around awhile and then made a beeline, to the delicatessen counter. Some perched on the oyster crackers, some set up headquarters on the case. But most seemed to find the pickle shelf the most comfortable.
Then . . . Gas-Filled Balloons
" MR. BROIDO handed photographs of the pigeons around to the Congressmen. Well, sir, he'd hardly got the store cleared of birds, before some more sailors let loose a barrage of toy balloons. The staff figured that was easy; it'd merely puncture the balloons. Whooie! Those wily sailors had filled their balloons with a strong-smelling gas—and every popping balloon made Mr. Gimbel's place smell the worse. : Since then, said Mr. Broido, it's after another.
